I have converted two #3 in 45-70. a 25-20 and a 17 khornet. you only need to shoot a 45-70 in #3 once to know why most have been shot very little. one the hornet got #1 wood.

Buds has the savage in 12g for $142.00 cash price, no charge to ship. have to agree looks like a n.e.f. might be a basis for a barrel stub with a bushed firing pin.

181/2" bbl in 308 is LOUD. it did however unscrew without difficulty, not as handy with a 22" bbl but much easier on my ears.

Forum: Single Shot Guns
that barrel lends itself to rechambering, if you want to, 17hmr, 17 wsm, 17 hornet, 17 khornet, 17 fireball, 17 Remington. if no interest in 17 caliber rounds it will be an easy sale or trade.
